Psalm 138:2 – 2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy [W]ord above all thy name. (American Standard Version (ASV) Public Domain)
Philippians 2:9-11 – 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version. ESV® Text Edition: 2016. Copyright © 2001 by Crossway Bibles, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.) Yes! Every Knee Shall Bow! (↔ Music Link)
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with us from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father’s Son, in truth and love. This coming Sunday is commonly called Palm Sunday. It is the beginning of Holy Week, the last days of Jesus’ life in human form. It begins with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem and ends with his torment upon the Cross. Are we ready for that Easter which includes Calvary and the Tomb?
Today I am going to give you links for the daily readings for Hoy Week. Think of it as a series of homework assignments. I encourage you to read the entire page you receive when using a link. After you finish the readings, use the Lectio Divina (↔ Click Link) method for reflection.
- Reading (lectio) – what do these readings tell you? What, in particular, resonates with your Spirit?
- Meditation (meditatio) – What is God trying to show you in these passages of Scripture?
- Prayer (oratio) – Share your conclusions with God in prayer – through your own praise, thanksgiving, contrition, or petition.
- Contemplation (contemplatio) – Take a few moments to silently reflect and listen for the Word’s Voice in your heart and mind.
- Actions (actio) – Take action to make changes in your life that affect your relationships with God and neighbor.
This won’t take much time out of our day, and we’ll find it prepares us to celebrate the Easter mysteries in ways that are both profound and delightful. God has given us the B.I.B.L.E. which contains over 7,000 promises, and most of them about his Absolutely Perfect Plan based on his Perfect Integrity, Endless Mercy, and our Eternal Salvation through Christ our Lord who is the Word made flesh. In your Lectio Divina, make it your daily recollection that God has “magnified his Word above all his name.” Every characteristic attributable to God – every name, every word, and every deed by which has revealed himself – ALL are secondary to his Word, “the name that is above every name.” Then – when Easter comes – we will know for certain that “every tongue [will] confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (↔ Music Link)

Next week I am having two minor procedures done on my right hand – a carpal tunnel release and trigger finger (pinky) correction. I’m told I won’t be able to type for about SIX WEEKS!! We’ll see about that. But JIC, I’ve been practicing with speech to text.
***F*R*U*S*T*R*A*T*I*N*G*!!!***
Whatever, whenever, wherever, whoever, however, if ever, forever —
at your service, Belovéd!
Please pray with us here at Share-a-Prayer.
God himself tells us “My eternal Word is anchored in the heavens.”
Psalm 119:89-90 – 89 The Lord exists forever; your word is firmly fixed in heaven. 90 Your faithfulness endures to all generations; you have established the earth, and it stands fast.
